Intramolecular cyclization of these compounds gives 15-oxo-15H-benzo[6,7][1,8]naphthyridino[2,1-b]quinazoline-6-carbonitriles, 1-aryl-3-methyl-11-oxo-1,11-dihydropyrazolo[4′,3′:5,6]pyrido[2,1-b]quinazoline-5-carbonitriles, and 1-aryl-3-methyl-1H-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-5-carbonitriles.     

Unusual cyclization of N-imidazolyl quinone imines with the formation of thiadiazole ring and its subsequent recyclization

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-{[2-(2-aryl-2-oxoethylthio)-1H-imidazol-1-yl]imino}cyclohexa-2,5-dien-1-ones under the action of bases give products of the 2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazol- 3-ol series by subsequent recyclization reaction of the intermediate imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles. The structure of imidazo[2,1-b]thiazol-3-ol is supported by the X-ray diffraction. The features of the cyclization processes of quinone imine derivatives were stimulated by DFT calculations using the wB97XD/6-311++G** method.     

Condensation of 1,2-hydroxylaminooximes with acetylacetone. Conversion of tetrahydroimidazo[1,2-b]isoxazoles into derivatives of 2H-imidazole, 1-hydroxypyrrole,and 4-oxotetrahydropyridine

Condensed imidazo-1,2,4-azines. 14. Synthesis and reactivity of 3-chlorine-substituted imidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazines

When boiled with phosphorus pentachloride in phosphorus oxychloride, 2-methyl-6-phenyl-imidazo[1,2-b]1,2,4-triazin-4H-3-one gives a mixture of mono- and dichloro derivatives, whereas the action of thionyl chloride in chloroform with a catalytic amount of DMFA gives only the monosubstituted product 2-methyl-3-chloro-6-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine. The reactivity of the 3-chloro derivatives of imidazo[1,2-b]-1,2,4-triazine in reactions with diethylamine, piperidine, morpholine, aniline, hydrazine hydrate and thiourea was investigated.For Communication 13, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 981–985, July, 1986.     

Imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles. II. Synthesis and antiinflammatory activity of some imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles

3-[2-[p-(Un)substituted phenyl]imidazo [2,1-b]benzothiazol-3- yl]propionic acid derivatives (2a--e) were prepared via the interaction of the corresponding 2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazoles (1a--e) with acrylic acid in the presence of acetic anhydride and acetic acid. Esterification of 2a--e produced methyl esters (3a--e). Upon the interaction of 3a with m-chloroperbenzoic acid, the S-dioxide (4a) was obtained. Compound 5a was prepared from 4a by alkaline hydrolysis. Vilsmeier formylation for 1a--e produced novel [2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazol-3- yl]formaldehyde derivatives (6a--e). Derivatives 6a--e reacted with ethyl bromoacetate to give ethyl 3-hydroxy-3-[2-[p-(un)substituted phenyl]imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazol- 3-yl]propionate esters (7a--e). Compound dl-7a was resolved with l-(+)-tartaric acid. Compounds 2a--e showed weak or no activity in the carrageein-induced paw edema assay. Compound 4a significantly inhibited the leakage of pontamine-sky blue dye into the peritoneal cavity of mice, in the capillary permeability inhibition assay. Compound 5a inhibited the writhing by 62% in the acetic acid-induced writhing assay.

A Convenient and Facile Hantzsch Synthesis of Aryl Imidazo[1,2‐b]Isoxazolyl‐N‐aryl Thiazol Amines

The Hantzsch synthesis of novel aryl imidazo[1,2‐b]isoxazolyl‐N‐aryl thiazol amines 5 analogues were described. Reaction of 3‐aminoisoxazole 1 with substituted phenacyl bromides 2 in dry ethanol afforded the corresponding 6‐methyl‐3‐arylimidazo[1,2‐b]isoxazoles 3 in good yields. Compounds 3 on reaction with chloroacetyl chloride in 1,4‐dioxane furnished the corresponding 2‐chloro‐1‐(6‐methyl‐3‐arylimidazo[1,2‐b]isoxazol‐2‐yl)ethanones 4 . Compounds 4 on heating with N‐aryl thioureas in an oil bath underwent cyclization to afford the title compounds viz., imidazo[1,2‐b]isoxazolyl‐N‐aryl thiazol amines 5 in moderate to good yields by Hantzsch synthesis.     

Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines. I. Synthesis and inotropic activity of new 5-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinyl-2(1H)-pyridinone derivatives

A series of 1,2-dihydro-5-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridinyl-2(1H)-pyridonones was synthesized and evaluated for positive inotropic activity, 1,2-Dihydro-5-imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl-6-methyl-2- oxo-3-pyridinecarbonitrile (11a) hydrochloride monohydrate (E-1020) was found to be a potent and selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase III and a long-acting, potent, orally active positive inotropic agent. Additional imidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-2-yl (3a), -3-yl (16), -7-yl (20) and -8-yl (24a) compounds were also prepared. Altering the pyridine substitution from the 2-position to the 6-position produced a 2-fold increase in the i.v. cardiotonic potency (ED50) from 52 to 23 micrograms/kg, while substitution at the 3-, 7- or 8-position reduced potency. In the 2-positional isomers, introduction of halogen groups enhanced the activity and 3-chloro-1,2-dihydro-5-(6-fluoroimidazo[1,2-a] pyridin-2-yl)-6-methyl-2(1H)-pyridinone (3u) was the most potent (i.v. ED50 11 micrograms/kg) in this series. E-1020 is presently under development for the treatment of congestive heart failure.     

Mannich bases and methiodides of 6-(2-furyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole and its substituted derivatives

The Mannich reaction in a number of 6-(2-furyl)-substituted imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles is realized initially in the 5 position of the imidazothiazole system, whereas it is also realized in the 5 position of the furan ring in the presence of excess reagents if the latter position is not substituted. Iodomethylation occurs at the N₇ atom of imidazothiazole. The Mannich bases of 6-(5-nitro-2-furyl)imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole are iodomethylated only at the aminomethyl group. The pK_a values of the series of compounds were measured.     

Synthesis of 3-(2-Phenylquinolin-4-yl)/3-(l-p-Chlorophenyl-5-methyl-1, 2,3-triazol-4-yl)-s-triazolo[3,4-b]-1, 3,4-thiadiazine Derivatives

s-Triazolo[3, 4-b]-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivatives constitute an important class of organic compounds with diverse biological activities. 2-Phenylquinoline and 1,2, 3-triazole derivatives are very attractive heterocyclic systems due to their wide use in medicine, agriculture and industry^[1]. Incorporation of 2-phenylquinoline and 1,2,3-triazole moiety into the 3-position of s-triazolo[3,4-b]-l, 3,4-thiadiazine ring system may enhance their biological activity. In light of the above findings, we synthesized some new s-triazolo[3, 4-b]-1, 3, 4-thiadiazine derivatives 2a-b~6a-b by the condensation of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-(2-phenylquinolin-4-yl)/3-(1-p-chlorophenyl-5-methyl-1, 2,3-triazol-4-yl)-1, 2, 4-triazoles 1a-b with chloroacetalde-hyde, ω-bromo-ω-(1H-1, 2, 4-triazol-1-yl)acetophenone, chloranil, 2-bromocyclohexanone, 2, 4'-dibromoacetophenone, respectively.
